Marquette women’s basketball entered Sunday’s contest against Seton Hall looking for its first win at Walsh Gymnasium since the 2018-19 season.
However, the Pirates had other plans as they defeated the Golden Eagles 69-57 in South Orange, New Jersey.
It is the first loss of the season in BIG EAST conference play for Marquette.
The Golden Eagles came out hitting three of their first four shots from the field to begin the first quarter. Despite graduate student guard Karissa McLaughlin’s 3-pointer at the 5:19 mark of the frame to put Marquette up 10-9, a 2:51 scoreless drought to end the frame and six turnovers allowed the Pirates to etch out a 18-15 lead heading into the second.
